Sledding Hills

Sledding, snow boarding and even cross-country skiing - though Berlin is mostly flat, there are some pretty good sledding hills in town. The best hills and tracks for a speedy toboggan run are presented here by the Top10 Berlin team. Once the temperatures have dropped and everything is covered in snow, there is hardly anything better to for families with children to get out those sleds, polish the runnings and go on a family trip to the snow. Tip: If you don't have a sled or toboggan of your own in the basement, you can rent one at the Schlittenverleih sled rentals of some bike rental companies - make your pick betweena sled, a bob, a slider or whatever and run to the Top10 sledding hills!
